RBS (Elowitz 1999) -- defines RBS efficiency
Varies from -6 to +1 region from original sequence to accomodate BioBricks suffix. No secondary structures are formed in the given RBS region. Users should check for secondary structures induced in the RBS by upstream and downstream elements in the +50 to -50 region, as such structures will greatly affect the strength of the RBS.

autoinducer synthetase for PAI from Pseudomonas aeruginosa
coding region for lasI protein, which produces the chemical signal AI-1
lasR activator from P. aeruginosa PAO1(+LVA)
Genbank: NC_002516 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
coding region for lasR protein, which accepts chemical signal AI-1 (made by lasI protein)
Mutated 480 from g to a to remove PstI site
The LuxR binding site is from BBa_R0062 and the pLas' promoter is from the region upstream of the LasI gene in Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
K091146 is a modified version of the pLas' promoter (BBa_K091117) containing the addition of a luxR binding site between the -35 and -10 regions. This promoter is expected to be activated in the presence of PAI-1 and LasR and repressed in the presence of AI-1 and LuxR.
The Lux box was placed adjacent to the LasR binding site with the aim of minimizing cross-talk in the presence of both PAI-1 and AI-1; since the LasR site should have a higher affinity, we hope that the binding of PAI-1 will competitively exclude the binding of AI-1.
